HISTOEICAL SKETCH 



COLUMBIA COLLEGE. 



The establishment of a college in the city of New York, was 
many years in agitation before the design was carried into 
effect. At length, under an act of Assembly, passed iu Decem- 
ber, 174(3, and other similar acts which followed, moneys were 
raised by public lottery " for the encouragement of learning, and 
towards the founding a college " within the colony. These 
moneys were, in November, 1751, vested in trustees; of whom, 
ten in number, seven were members of the Church of England, 
and some of these seven were also vestrymen of Trinity Church. 

These circumstances, together with the liberal grant of land to 
the college by Trinity Church, excited apprehensions of a design 
to introduce a church-establishmont within the province, and 
caused violent opposition to the plan, as soon as it became known, 
of obtaining a royal charter for the college. 

This opposition, however, being at last iu a great measure sur- 
mounted, the trustees in November, 1753, invited Dr. Samuel 
Johnson, of Connecticut, to be President of the intended college. 
Dr. Johnson consequently removed to New York in the month of 
April following, and in July, 1754, commenced the instruction of 
a class of students in a room of the school-house belonging to 
Trinity Church ; but he would not absolutely accept of the Presi- 
dency until after the passing of the charter. This took place on 
the 31st of October in the same year, 1754; from which period 
the existence of the college is properly to be dated. The governors 



l8 HISTORICAL SKETCH OP COLUMBIA COLLEGE. 

of the college, named in the charter, are the archbishop of Can- 
terbury, and the first Lord commissioner for trade and plantations, 
both empowered to act by proxies ; the lieutenant-governor of the 
province, and several other public officers ; together with the rec- 
tor of Trinity Church, the senior minister of the Reformed Pro- 
testant Dutch Church, the ministers of the German Lutheran 
Church, of the French Church, of the Presbyterian Congregation, 
and the president of the college, all ex officio^ and twenty-four of 
the principal gentlemen of the city. The college was to be known 
by the name of King's College. Previously to the passing of the 
charter, a parcel of ground to the westward of Broadway, 
bounded by Barclay, Church, and Murray streets, and by the 
Hudson river, had been destined by the vestry of Trinity Church 
as a site for the college edifice ; and, accordingly, after the charter 
was granted, a grant of the land was made, on the 13th of May, 
1755. On a portion of this plot, at the foot of Upper Robinson 
street, as it was at first called, but afterwards Park place, the col- 
lege was subsequently built, and there stood for one hundred and 
three years, until its removal to another site, in 1857, occasioned 
by the demands of the business of the city. The part of the land 
thus granted by Trinity Church, not occupied for college purposes, 
was leased, and became a very valuable endowment to the college. 
The sources whence the funds of the institution were derived 
besides the proceeds of the lotteries above mentioned, were the 
voluntary contributions of private individuals in this country, and 
sums obtained by agents who were subsequently sent to England 
and France. In May, 1760, the college buildings began to be 
occupied. In March, 1763, Dr. Johnson resigned his office of 
president, and the Rev. Dr. Myles Cooper, of Oxford, who had 
previously been appointed Professor of Moral Philosophy, and 
assistant to the president, was elected in his place. In 1767, a 
grant of land was obtained, under the government of Sir Henry 
Moore, of twenty-four thousand acres, situated in the northern 
parts of the province of New York ; but by the terms of the treaty 
which the State of New York concluded with Vermont upon its 
erection into a separate state, this among other grants of land 
lying within its limits, was annulled, and the college consequently 
lost a tract of great value, inasmuch as it constituted the county 
town of the county in which it was situated. 



HISTOmCAL SKETCH OF COLUMBIA COLLEGE. l9 

In August, of the year 1767, a medical school was established in 
the college. 

The following account of the institution, supposed to be written 
by Dr. Cooper, shows its condition previously to the war of the 
revolution : 

" Since the passing of the charter, the institution hath 
received great emolument by grants from his nlost gracious 
majesty King George the Third, and by liberal contributions 
from many of the nobility and gentry in the parent country ; 
from the society for the propagation of the gospel in foreign parts, 
and from several public- spirited gentlemen in America and else- 
where. By means of these and other benefactions, the governors 
of the college have been enabled to extend their plan of education 
almost as diffusely as any college in Europe ; herein being taught, 
by proper masters and professors, who are chosen by the govern- 
ors and president. Divinity, Natural Law, Physic, Logic, Ethics, 
Metaphysics, Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, Astronomy, 
Geography, History, Chronology, Rhetoric, Hebrew, Greek, 
Latin, Modern Languages, the Belles-Lettres, and whatever else 
of literature may tend to accomplish the pupils as scholars and 
gentlemen. 

" To the college is also annexed a grammar school for the due 
preparation of those who propose to complete their education with 
the arts and sciences. 

" All students but those in medicine, are obliged to lodge and 
diet in the college, unless they are particularly exempted by the 
governor or president ; and the edifice is surrounded by a high 
fence, which also encloses a large court and garden, and a porter 
constantly attends at the front gate, which is closed at ten o'clock 
each evening in summer, and nine in winter ; after which hours, 
the names of all that come in are delivered weekly to the presi- 
dent. 

"The college is situated on a dry gravelly soil, about one hun- 
dred and fifty yards from the bank of the Hudson river, which it 
overlooks ; commanding, from the eminence on which it stands, a 
most extensive and beautiful prospect of the opposite shore and 
country of New Jersey, the city and island of New York, Long 
Island, Staten Island, New York bay and its islands, the Narrows* 
forming the mouth of the harbor, etc., etc. ; ^nd being totally un- 



20 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF COLUMBIA COLLEGE. 

encumbered by any adjacent buildings and admitting the purest 
circulation of air from the river, and every other quarter, has the 
benefit of as agreeable and healthy a situation as can possibly be 
conceived. 

" Visitations by the governors are quarterly ; at which times, 
premiums of books, silver medals, etc., are adjudged to the most 
deserving. 

" This seminary hath already produced a number of gentlemen, 
who do great honor to their professions, the place of their educa- 
tion, and themselves, in divinity, law, medicine, etc., etc., in this 
and various other colonies, both on the American continent and 
"West India Islands ; and the college is annually increasing as well 
in students as reputation." 

In consequence of the dispute between this and the parent coun- 
try, Dr. Cooper returned to England, and the Rev. Benjamin Moore 
was appointed prceses pro tempore during the absence of Dr. Cooper, 
who, however, did not return. 

On the breaking out of the revolutionary war, the business of 
the college was almost entirely broken up, and it was not until 
after the return of peace that its affairs were again regularly at- 
tended to. 

In May, 1784, the college upon its own application, was erected 
into a university, and its corporate title changed from King's Col- 
lege to that of Regents of the University. New professors were 
appointed, and a medical department was established. 

The college continued under that government until April, 1787 ; 
when finding the attempt to establish a university unsuccessful, 
they were restored to their original position under the present 
name of Columbia College. 

The original charter, with necessary alterations, was confirmed, 
and the college placed under twenty-nine trustees, who were to 
exercise their functions until their number should be reduced, by 
death, resignation, or removal from the state, to twenty-four ; after 
which, all vacancies in their Board were to be filled by their own 
choice. 

At the same time a new body was created, called by the same 
name, "The Regents of the University," under which all the 
seminaries of learning mentioned in the act creating it, were 



HISTORICAL SKETCH OF COLUMBIA COLLEGE. 21 

placed by the legislature. This bod}' still exists under its original 
name. 

In May, 1787, Dr. Win. Samuel Johnson, son of the first pres- 
ident, was elected president of Columbia College. During the 
previous vacancy of the presidential chair, the professors had pre- 
sided in turn ; and certificates were given to graduates, in place of 
regular diplomas. 

In the beginning of the year 1792, the medical school was 
placed upon a more respectable and efficient footing than before. 

Dr. Johnson resigned the office of president in July, 1800, and 
was succeeded the year following by the Rev. Dr. Wharton, who 
resigned his office at the end of about seven months. 

Bishop Moore succeeded Dr. Wharton as president. His ecclesi- 
astical duties were such, that he was not expected to take an 
active part in the business of the college, except on particular oc- 
casions. The chief management of its concerns devolved upon the 
professors. 

In 1809, the requisites for entrance into college, to take effect 
the following 3'ear, were very much raised, and a new course of 
study and system of discipline was established. 

A new amended charter was obtained from the legislature in 
1810 ; by which the power of the college to lease its real estate for 
twenty-one years was extended to sixty-three years. 

Bishop Moore resigned his office as President in May, 1811, in 
order to make room for some person who might devote his whole 
time and attention to the college ; and in June following, a new 
office, styled that o£ provost, was created. The provost was to sup- 
ply the place of the president in his absence, and was to conduct 
the classical studies of the senior class. Shortly after this new ar- 
rangement, the Eev. Wm. Harris, and the Eev. John M. Mason, 
were elected president and provost. 

In consequence of the establishment of the College of Physicians 
and Surgeons in New York, the Medical School of Columbia Col- 
lege was in November, 1813, discontinued. 

The provost resigned his office in 1816 ; since which time the 
college has been under the sole superintendence of a president. 

In 1814, a grant was made to the college by the legislature, of 
a tract of land on Manhattan Island, of about twenty acres, which 
had been occupied as a botanic garden by the late Dr. Hosack, and 



22 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF COLUMBIA COLLEGE. 

had been purchased of him by the state. The grant was accom- 
panied by the condition that the college should be removed to the 
tract so granted within twelve years. In 1819, this condition was 
repealed. At that time the lands were valued at two hundred and 
fifty dollars an acre, or the whole at five thousand dollars. These 
lands, in the present map of the city, are embraced between the 
Fifth and Sixth avenues, and extend from Forty-seventh to Fifty- 
first street. The lapse of half a century and the gradual growth of 
the city, have, of course, greatly increased their value. 

In September of 1817, steps were taken by the trustees for a 
thorough repair of the old edifice, which was in a very decayed 
state, and for the erection of additional buildings. Before the end 
of the year 1820, the proposed alterations and additions were com- 
pleted. 

At the close of the year 1827, the trustees resolved upon the 
establishment of a grammar school under the superintendence of 
the faculty of the college ; which resolution was carried into efiFect 
early the following year; and, in 1829, a building was erected upon 
the college ground for the accommodation of scholars. The school 
was discontinued in 1863. 

In October, of the year 1829, Dr. Harris, the President of the 
college, died; and, on the 9th of December following, Wm. A. 
Duer, LL. D., was elected in his room. 

With a view of rendering the benefits of education more general- 
ly accessible to the community, the system of instruction, at the 
commencement of the year 1830, underwent very extensive addi- 
tions and modifications, and the time of daily attendance upon the 
professors was materially increased. The course of study in ex- 
istence at the time of making these additions, was kept entire, and 
was denominated i\iQfuU course. 

Another course of instruction was estabhshed, denominated the 
scientific and literary course ; which latter was open to others be- 
sides matriculated students, and to such extent as they might think 
proper to attend. 

On a revision of the statutes in the year 1836, both courses of 
study pursued in the college were further enlarged ; and the liter- 
ary and scientific course, in particular, defined and materially ex- 
tended. And in order that this course, as well as the scientific 
branches of the full course, might be conducted in the most efiicient 



Historical sketch op coLtiMBiA college. 23 

manner, the trustees appropriated the sum of ten thousand dollars 
for the purchase of additional apparatus, as well as for adding to 
the library the requisite books of reference and illustration. 

The literary and scientific course, however, as distinguished 
from the full course, did not appear to find favor with the public, 
and upon a revision of the statutes, in the year 1843, was discon- 
tinued. 

Among other important changes made on this same occasion, 
was the adoption of the German language and literature as part 
of the sub-graduate course, and the establishment of the Gebhard 
professorship thereof, upon the endowment made by the last will 
and testament of Frederick Gebhard, Esquire. 

In April, 1842, Wm. A. Duer, LL. D, resigned his office of pres- 
ident, and in the following month of August, Nathaniel F. Moore, 
LL. D., was elected in his place. President Moore having resigned 
his office in 1849, Charles King, LL. D., was chosen in his place in 
November of that year. 

In 1854, the subjects of the removal of the college, and the ex- 
pediency of establishing a system of university instruction, were 
considered by the trustees, and the body of professors having in 
view such a system was greatly enlarged. 

In May, 1857, the college was removed from its old position, on 
Park place, to where it now stands, in East Forty-ninth street, be- 
tween Madison and Fourth avenues. 

On the 17th of May, 1858, a department of law was established, 
under the name of "The Law School of Columbia College," and a 
Faculty of law appointed. 

In 1860, by an arrangement with the Regents of the Univer- 
sity, and the sanction of the legislature, a union was eflfected with 
the College of Physicians and Surgeons, by which that institution 
was adopted as the medical department of the college. 

In 1863, the necessary measures were commenced for organiz- 
ing a department of science ; and in the following year a Faculty 
of the School of Mines was appointed, which school is now in suc- 
cessful operation. In this institution, instruction is given in five 
regular courses of scientific study, viz., Mining Engineering, Civil 
Engineering, Metallurgy, Geology and Natural History, and Ana- 
lytic and Applied Chemistry. Special students are also permitted 
to receive instruction in any particular branches of science which 
they may select. 



24 HISTOEICAL SKETCH OF COLUMBIA COLLEGE. 

In tlie year 1864, Dr. King resigned the presidency of the col- 
lege, and the Eeverend Frederick A. P. Barnard, S. T. D., LL. D., 
sometime Chancellor of the University of Mississippi, was chosen 
to fill his place. 

In 1868, as a mark of respect to the late Professors, Moore and 
Anthon, two prizes in Grreek, of the respective value of $300 and 
$150, to be competed for by members of the Junior Class, by an 
examination upon an entire play of -^^schylus, Sophocles or Euri- 
pides, not read in the College course, were established by the Trus- 
tees. 

In 1871 two Fellowships in Literature and Science, open upon 
certain conditions to the graduating class, each of the annual value 
of $500, to be held for three years, were instituted; and, at the 
same time, six Scholarships in Classics and Mathematics were es- 
tablished in the Freshman and Sophomore Classes, and the like 
number in the Junior Class, in Latin, in Logic and English Liter- 
ature, in History and Rhetoric, in Chemistry, in Mechanics and in 
Physics. The next year this scheme was remodelled by dividing 
the scholarships in the Sophomore and Freshman Classes, by ad- 
ding in the latter class a scholarship in Rhetoric, and in the Junior 
Class one in Greek, and by so re-arranging the whole as to make 
fourteen instead of twelve, each of the annual value of one hund- 
red dollars. 

In 1874 the Trustees determined to repair and improve the Col- 
lege buildings, and to erect new ones for the School of Mines, 
which work is now in progress. 

ColuDibia College at the present time has a Faculty of Arts, a 
Faculty of Law, a Faculty of Medicine, and a Faculty of Mining 
and General Science, embracing a president and seventy-two pro- 
fessors and other instructors, and in all the departments more 
than eleven hundred students.

mendation of the student for his degree, at the close of the academic 
course. 

^ 2. Each Professor, or other instructor, shall report to the 
President, at the end of every month, a numerical scale of the

§ 4. The Board of the College shall prescribe such rules as may be 
necessary to make the examinations a true and impartial test of 
the attainments of the students ; and any one who shall be found 
to have wilfully violated these rules, or any of ihem, shall be liable

and shall not be made public ; but the President may give to the 
parent or guardian of any student the particulars embraced in 
them, so far as that student is concerned. 

^ 6. Any student iwho shall be found deficient in the same de-

mitted to be a candidate for a degree. 

^ 7. No student who, after the close of the first session of the 
Senior year, shall be found not to have made good all the deficien-

reasons shall appear, satisfactory to the Board of the College, to 
account for his failure. 

§ 8. Every student, whose record of scholarship shall be found 
at the close of the academic course to be fair, shall be entitled to

Bachelor of Arts. If there be any one against whom there shall 
appear a record of deficiency not subsequently made good, in re- 
gard to which the Board of the College are satisfied that there has 
been no culpable neglect of duty, such student may, in the discre- 
tion of the Board, be recommended for a degree speciali gratia ; 
and every student who may fail of such recommendation shall be 
entitled to a certificate stating the duration of his attendance and 
the degree of his attainment. 

^ 9. Previously to each public examination, notice shall be 
given in two of the daily papers published in the city, of the time 
when the examination is to commence; and the Regents of the 
University, the Trustees of the college, the parents and guardians

class standing in merit, according to which the honors shall be 
awarded, 

§ 5. In the allotment of parts in the literary exercises of the 
Commencement, preference shall always be given to those members 
of the graduating class who shall have passed the competitive ex- 
amination ; and if the number of these shall be sufl&cient, no others

in their discretion, subject all or any of the competitors to a viva 
voce examination in addition to the written examination above 
described. 

The competitors shall all be subject to the same tests. The 
result of the examination shall be estimated according to a scale of 
values previously assigned to the questions. 

The student whose performances shall receive under this regula- 
tion the highest number of marks shall be entitled to the first 
prize, provided such number does not fall below a fixed minimum 
standard previously determined ; and the student whose total is 
next in amount to the highest shall be entitled to the second prize, 
with the same proviso. 

The names of the successful competitors shall appear in the 
college catalogues, and the president shall cause the same to be 
published in three daily papers of this city, as soon as the award is 
made known.

A first prize of $250, for excellence of attainments in legal 

science, etc. ; 
A second prize of $200 ; 
A third prize of $150 ; 
A fourth prize of $100. 

These prizes are to be conferred under the following rules and 
regulations :

There shall be an oral examination of candidates for the degree 
of Bachelor of Laws, at the close of the second year. The exam- 
ination is to be conducted by the professors in the Law school, and 
is distinct from that hereinafter established for prizes. 

2.— DEGREES. 

The degree of Bachelor of Laws shall bo conferred upon such 
students as shall pass an examination satisfactory to the professor 
of Municipal Law. 

3.— PRIZES. 

1. There shall be an examination of the candidates for prizes at 
the close of each collegiate year. Candidates must be connected 
with the Law school for two collegiate years. 



68 1>EIZES IK THE SCHOOL OP LAW. 

2. The test of excellence shall be twofold — 

a. By an examination in writing in answer to printed questions. 

h. By essays prepared upon such legal topics as may bo sug- 
gested. 

The prizes shall be adjudicated upon the combined excellence of 
the essays and examinations. Diligence and regularity of attend- 
ance upon the prescribed exercises of the school shall form an 
element in reaching the conclusion. 

3. The following directions must be observed by candidates in 
preparing essays : 

a. The essays shall be written upon white letter paper of the 
best quality, with a margin of an inch wide. Only two pages of 
each sheet should be written upon. The chirography should be 
fair and legible. The essays should not exceed ten sheets in 
length, or three fourths of an hour in delivery, if spoken. 

&. The positions taken in the essays, if debatable, should be 
fortified by the citation of authorities. When the point is reason- 
ably well settled, a single decision and leading authority shall 
suffice ; in other cases, more are admissible. 

c. Conciseness and clearness of expression, accuracy of state- 
ment, and close reasoning, should be carefully studied by the 
essayist. 

d. The essays should be signed with a fictitious name, and be 
accompanied by a sealed envelope, upon the outside of which shall 
be written the fictitious nanae attached to the essay ; and within, a 
slip of paper containing the real name of the author. The essays 
should be delivered to the professor of Municipal Law, on or be- 
fore May 15th. 

e. The unsuccessful essays shall be returned to the authors with 
the envelopes unopened. The successful shall belong to the col- 



PRIZES IN THE SCHOOL OF LAW. 69 

lege, and shall be preserved in bound volumes for the use of the 
Law library. 

f. Any essays •which have received honorable mention from the 
committee of award, and have failed to receive a prize, may, with 
the consent of the authors, be bound with the prize essays. 

4, The examinations upon the printed questions shall be made 
as follows : 

a. Those who intend to compete for the prizes shall enter their 
names in a book provided for that purpose, before May 1st. If 
among those names there are any who have been wanting in a 
reasonable degree of punctuality, they shall be informed before 
examination that they may fail of obtaining the prize. 

h. The professor of Municipal Law shall call a session of the 
candidates at such time, near the close of the collegiate year, as 
may be convenient. He shall furnish, at the opening of the ses- 
sion, the printed papers to the students, who shall write their 
answers, in his presence, upon paper similar to that provided for 
the essays, with a similar margin. During this session there shall 
be a general silence observed, except such necessary questions as 
may be addressed to the professor, and there shall be expressly no 
communication of the candidates with each other regarding an- 
swers. A failure to observe these rules will work a forfeiture of 
the right to receive a prize. 

c. After this session is finished, the answers to the printed ques- 
tions shall be signed with the fictitious name attached to the essays, 
and inclosed in an envelope as before. The answers shall belong 
to the college. 

5. The essays and answers shall thereupon be transmitted to a 
committee on prizes, consisting of three members of the legal pro- 
fession that are to be selected by the Law Committee of the college. 
The report of this committee will be communicated to the clerk of 
the college in writing. 



70 PRIZES IN THE SCHOOL OF LAW. 

6. The names of the successful candidates and the substance of 
the report shall be published in the principal daily papers in the 
city, at the expense of the college. Notice will also be given by 
letter to the successful candidates. 

7. The prizes shall be awarded at the option of the recipient, in 
money, medals, or books ; when no notice is given to the contrary, 
the award will be in money until otherwise ordered. The professor 
of Municipal Law will countersign all drafts upon the treasurer be- 
fore they can become available.

RULES OF ORDER. 

ADOPTED BY THE FACULTY, FEB. 17, 1869. 



GENEEAL EEGULATIONS. 

It is presumed that every student will deport himself while at 
college, with the same propriety which he would feel bound to 
observe elsewhere in society. Students are assumed to be gentle- 
men, and they will be treated as such. 

1. During the hours set apart for college exercises, it will not be 
in order for students to linger about the grounds, the passages, or 
the vacant rooms. 

2. It will not be in order, at any time, to throw any kind of 
missiles upon the college premises, except such as are used in 
games of recreation permitted by the President. 

3. At the ringing of the bell for morning prayers, every student 
will promptly repair to his seat in the chapel, and remain there 
until the close of the chapel services. 

4. Immediately after prayers the students of the several classes 
or sections will proceed directly to their respective class or section 
rooms, where they will remain until the close of the hour allotted 
to the exercise. 

5. At the end of each hour the bell will ring, and the classes 
and sections will be dismissed. Between the first and the second 



74 EULES OP ORDEE. 

hour, and again between the second and the third, there will be 
an interval of five minutes, when the bell will be tolled, and the 
students will promptly repair to the rooms where their attendance 
is due. 

6. It is not in order to make use of tobacco in any form upon 
the college premises. 

7. It is not in order to leave a class-room during the progress of 
any scholastic exercise. 



CHAPEL EEGULATIONS. 

1. The bell for morning prayer will begin to ring at 9 J o'clock, 
A. M., and will ring for two minutes, during which time the 
students will repair to their seats in the chapel. The chapel door 
will then be closed, and will not be opened again until after the 
reading of the lesson. The door will then be opened for the 
admission of such as may be tardy, and will then again be closed, 
and will remain closed until the end of the services. After the 
services, the senior class, with the officers who instruct them, will 
first leave the chapel; the other classes, with their instructors, 
will follow in order, as they may be dismissed by the President. 

2. The students of the several classes will be seated in the 
chapel in alphabetical order, and will preserve this order throughout 
the year. 

3. An Officer of the Roll will be appointed by the President 
from among the students in each class, whose duty it shall be to 
keep the record of attendance. Each such officer will have a seat 
from which he 'may observe the members of his class, and will 
make his record silently. He will deliver his report to the Presi- 
dent before leaving the chapel. 

4. It will not be in order to carry into the chapel books, papers, 
canes, umbrellas, or other articles unsuited to the place. 



EULES OF ORDER. 75 

5. Should a student arrive on the college grounds after the 
opening of the exercises, but in time to enter after the reading of 
the lesson, he will attend at that time. Should he arrive after 
the second closing of the door, and before the close of the services, 
it will be in order for him to repair to the cloak-room, and to 
there remain until the sevices are over. 



REGULATIONS OF THE LIBRARY. 



1. The Library shall be open from the hour of noon until 3 
o'clock p. M., every day, while the college is in session, except Sat- 
urday and Sunday, and holidays established by statute. 

2. No person shall be allowed to take at one time more than one 
volume, if in folio or in quarto ; or one set, not exceeding three 
volumes, if in octavo or of less size. 

3. A folio or a quarto may be retained four weeks ; an octavo 
three weeks ; and a duodecimo, or a volume of less size, two

above limited, respectively, shall forfeit and pay to the Librarian, 
for the use of the Library, for every day a volume is so detained, 
if it be a folio or a quarto, two cents ; if an octavo or a volume of 
less size, one cent ; and until such payments be made shall not be 
permitted to take out any other book. 

5. The above restrictions as to the number of books to be taken 
out, and the time for which they may be kept, shall not apply 
to officers of the college engaged in the instruction of its students ;

whatever books they have belonging to the college, so that they 
may be in their places on the shelves on the third Tuesday in June

7. Books, which, as containing fine engravings, or otherwise, 
are of great value, or which are subjects of frequent reference, as 
lexicons, cyclopedias, atlases, etc., shall, under the direction of the 
Library committee, be marked in the catalogue with an asterisk, 
and shall not be taken out of the Library. 

8. No person shall, without permission of the Librarian, remove 
books from the shelves, nor take from the Library, any book not 
delivered to him for that purpose by the Librarian, who shall 
observe the condition of every book when given out and when 
returned ; and the person in whose possession a book shall have 
sustained any injury, shall repair the same, or make satisfaction 
therefor, before he can take out any other book. In case any book 
shall not be duly returned, the person in default shall pay its value 
to the Librarian, or if it made part of a set, the full value of such 
set, the remainder of which may thereupon be taken by the person 
so paying for same. 

9. All books taken out within the four weeks next preceding the 
third Tuesday in June, of every year, shall be taken under an en- 
gagement to return the same previous to that day. The Librarian 
shall endeavor to have on that day every book belonging to the 
Library in its place. 

10. In the annual report on the condition of the Library, the 
Librarian shall render an account to the Library committee of all 
moneys received by him for fines and forfeitures, annual contribu- 
tions, donations, on the exchange and sale of books, or otherwise* 
as Librarian. He shall take care that the Library be at all times 
well aired, and guarded against moisture, and, as far as possible, 
from dust. He shall see that it is carefully cleaned from time to

other noise within it, that may disturb those engaged in study or 
research. He shall make a suitable arrangement of the books

pose, which shall be placed on a table in the Library and remain 
there for inspection.
